1.0.22.2  Unfortunately, a computer crash destroyed the previously mentioned 300 (it was actually 400) PBP entries before I sent out the update without my knowing.  This "update" is actually the same program version (1.0.22.1), but with the previous PBP file (there was no way to recover the 400 entries).  A "spectator" mode has been added to the program.

0.0.1.6  Fixed a problem with the "double bonus" option in the college game.  Added some new rules to the game options screen.  Created a new lineup generator based on actual lineups rather than minutes played.  Added several items to the player editor.  Fixed an issue with player deletion.  Added ~50 new play-by-play entries and synonyms.

0.0.0.4  More additions and improvements were added to the season melder.  Functionality was added to the medical page.  Player files will be automatically expanded to accommodate 20 teams in each division for a total of up to 200 teams (this was done to make it easier to work with college conferences, which routinely have more than the previous limit of 10 teams).  Some improvements were made to the lineup generator, play-by-play descriptors, and substitution routines.
